Kayaking Safety - The EssentialsWatch this short video to learn how youcan insure that your paddling experiencewill be relatively safe for all involved.Training Canoe Newbies Over the years, Cliff Jacobson has formed afew tests to get new canoeists ready to run whitewater rivers. Read all about them.

I've owned a 17ft. coleman canoe for about 20 years. I've used it on several 2-7 day trips in Pa. and N.Y. as well as fishing and day trips. It is at its best as a flat water canoe but does handle moderatly fast water. It will easily take two adults and gear for several days and it is tough. Mine shows a lot of scrapes but I have never had to repair it and it has not been babied. It handles well even solo although it can be tricky in high wind when you're alone. My biggest complaint is the weight. At 80+lbs this is not a canoe you want to portage very far.
